You mention your new AR-15, and suddenly you're the black sheep. "But why do you need that?" they ask. Meanwhile, your cousin is over there with a mezuzah on his rifle. Like, we get it, Aunt Miriam, your kugel is safe, but my Glock is for self-defense, not a family feud!

I want to buy my first gun as well as take lessons/training/etc, but I don't really know where to start. I'm in the NW Burbs of Chicago and there's a few ranges around here but I'd like to find one that is 1. Generally safe & friendly to Jews, 2. Friendly to newcomers and has classes to train someone who has zero experience.

I'd also love to find a Jewish gun club, if possible. Any advice or info on ownership/clubs/ranges/stores in my area would be great (Southern Lake County, NW suburbs).

Looking for a local jewish gun ownership organization, haven't been able to find one. Anyone in the Philly area know of one?

Kinda sketched me out with some small details & discounts on using crypto. What do yall think?

I'm going to be purchasing my first gun soon, and had a few questions.

I'm going with the masada, I want an Israeli made gun and this looks like the best bet. Is it better to find a local place to buy (in in texas and theres a few) or to buy online and have it shipped somewhere? And is there a better first gun purchase? I plan on using this mostly for self defense but will probably carry once I'm comfortable (I'm going to take lessons and shoot frequently).

For optics I was thinking the leupold deltapoint pro. However, I spoke with my military friend and he told me I should learn to shoot well with the iron sights first. Should I hold off on purchasing this, or should I get it and try shooting with both? And is there a better optics? I'm more concerned about ease of use and reliability than I am of cost.

Last question is where the best place to buy ammo is. Someone recommended ammunition depot to me, but I'm not sure if its actually the best.

Thought this story is interesting. First Breach is a new ammunition manufacturer operating out of an old aircraft factory in Maryland. One co-founder is an IDF combat veteran who was wounded in Gaza in 2014.

A quick search on ammoseek showed that it looks like as of now their stuff is only sold online at Optics Planet. The price per round is currently on the expensive side, but hopefully for price conscious shooters, it eventually comes down. I would like to try their ammo someday. It looks like it's high quality.

On the shopping list:

• Rugged Obsidian 9 suppressor
• Holosun AEMS (but open to recommendations)

Less QQ, more pew pew.

To all of my fellow Jewish gun nuts, I wish you a good fast, and a good day of self-reflection.

I live in the US (Oregon).

I want a gun from Israel, any suggestions on how to get/find it?

I just searched gun broker, didn't find anything in I can get...

(Local gun store) Had one a while back, but I didn't get it when I could have...

One of my favorite rifles, a 10.5” 5.56 with an ACC SDN 762 can, EOTECH 55 something, and my pirate flag.

My Bul Armory Axes ... but I'll be putting Meprolight Pro-F enclosed emitter on them soon. THEN they'll be Jewish enough. :D
